His serial works depicting consumer goods and celebrities are among the most sought-after icons of contemporary art. W. began in the 50s as a commercial artist and soon belonged to their highly paid elite. He exhibited at MoMA as early as 1956, and by the mid-1960s at the latest, he was counted among the international avant-garde of the art world. W. had numerous exhibitions, including several times at Documenta. Through the serial repetition of a motif, often with intentionally imprecise color application, W. draws our attention to the manipulability of our perception through the media.
